Package: dismal spreadsheet for emacs
System name: dismal
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

dismal (Dis\' Mode Ain\'t Lotus) is a major mode in GNU-emacs that implements a 
spreadsheet (!), including how to load, run, and use dismal and dismal 
spreadsheets. Dismal provides the basic spreadsheet functions. Because it is 
based on GNU-Emacs it offers several relatively novel features for a 
spreadsheet 

       It includes tools for manipulating and aligning sequential behavioral 
data, like macshapa 
       It is extensible, so that users can write their own commands and 
functions, for example, to allow a function cell to write to several nearby 
cells. Or for example, a ruler can be put up that reflects the
       semantics of column names past the ones automatically provided as 
letters. 
       It includes extensions to record users behaviors and timestamp the 
keyboard and mouse movements. 
       It is integrated with emacs and it is designed to be keystroke driven 
rather than mouse/menu driven (although it can be menu driven).
